Notice how the IP configuration window comes up on the PPP adapter. This is
not our NIC. We need to scroll down from the PPP adapter to our NIC. First,
let’s open up the scroll window:
You can see I am using a 3Com Etherlink PCI NIC in my computer. When I
select that one then I can see my IP settings:
release all
renew all
The settings are similar to what we found in DOS. Instead of typing ipconfig
/release_all now we can just hit the Release All button. When you release it will
clear the ip addresses, masks and gateways. When you renew then you will get
them back.
Supplemental Labs or Challenge Activities:
1. What kind of information can be found using the “more info” button? Can you
get the same information from DOS?
2. Why did the IP information come up on “1 Ethernet Adapter” and not on the “0
Ethernet Adapter?”
So What Have I Learned Here?
You have learned how to release and renew the DHCP address from a workstation. In
part 2 you will work more with DHCP and need to know how to do what we learned in
this lab.
